DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION Problems to be Solved by the Invention
In 0-122300, the rotor and the centrifugal impeller are integrated to correct the balance, but the combination balance is greatly affected by the unbalance amount of the rotary shaft itself. The shaft center accuracy of the bearing when incorporated as a motor also affects. Therefore, the balance of the rotating part itself can be corrected, but the balance cannot be corrected in the final assembled state of the motor, that is, in the state where the bearing is held, and the balance accuracy after assembly may be deteriorated. In addition, there is no description about the detection of the unbalance position when actually performing the combined balance correction, the positioning of the unbalance correction portion, the fixing method, etc.
It was a big problem before it was realized.

Further, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2-231947, the entire assembled motor is installed in a balance adjusting device, and the unbalanced portion of the motor is detected through the balance adjusting device. There is a problem that the detection accuracy varies depending on the method.

An object of the present invention is to realize a concrete balance correction method when performing combination balance correction, to improve the combination balance accuracy for high speed rotation,
Vibration, achieving a reduction in noise and stabilize the sliding carbon brushes, required to prevent the wear increase and a decrease in carbon brush performance, to provide a balance correction how the electric blower to perform combination balance correction is there.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention detects an unbalanced position of a rotor and an impeller mounted and fixed to a rotary shaft of a commutator motor provided in an electric blower. In the balance correction method for an electric blower that performs balance correction, the rotor and the impeller are combined, the unbalanced positions of the rotor and the impeller are detected, and the unbalanced position of the rotor and the impeller are detected. The impeller is rotated with respect to the rotating shaft so that the unbalanced positions of the impellers are approximately in phase with each other, and the imbalance of the impeller is corrected.

[0007]

According to the present invention, the unbalanced positions of the rotor and the impeller fixed to the rotary shaft of the commutator motor are detected while the rotor and the impeller are installed in the electric blower. The phase of each unbalanced position (deviation as a rotation angle) is measured. The phase of the measured unbalance position is regarded as the unbalance correction angle, and the impeller is rotated with respect to the rotation axis of the commutator motor so that this unbalance correction angle is almost in phase (eliminating the deviation of the rotation angle). Let Thus, the impeller can be rotated with respect to the rotation shaft in a state where the rotor and the impeller are incorporated in the electric blower, so that the imbalance can be easily corrected.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT A balance correction method for an electric blower according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

First, FIG. 1 shows an example applied to an electric blower used in an electric vacuum cleaner. The electric blower 1 includes an electric motor unit 2 and a blower unit 3.

The electric motor section 2 is a commutator type electric motor, and includes a rotor 4 and a stator 5 in a housing 6 and an end bracket 7.
Is stored. The rotor 4 is supported by bearings 13 and 14, and the rotating shaft 15 extends through the end bracket 7 toward the blower unit 3 side.

In the blower unit 3, a fixed guide vane 8 is arranged on an end bracket 7, and an impeller (hereinafter referred to as a centrifugal impeller) 9 is integrally fixed to a rotating shaft 15 by a screw 16. Further, the casing 10 is press-fitted and fixed to the outer periphery of the end bracket 7 so as to cover them, and the fixed guide blade 8
Is pinched and fixed.

In the rotor 4, a balance ring 17, a commutator 18 and an iron core 19 are arranged and fixed between the bearings 13 and 14 at both ends, and a winding 20 is wound around the iron core 19 to form a commutator 18.
Is electrically connected to the outer peripheral portion of. Balance ring 17
Is for balancing the rotor 4 itself.

The carbon brush 12 housed in the brush holder 11 which is screwed and fixed on the outer peripheral surface of the housing 6 is urged by a spring or the like in the brush holder 11 to form an outer periphery of the commutator 18. It abuts the surface and is electrically connected. The rotor 4 and the centrifugal impeller 9 are unbalanced due to dimensional variations in manufacturing, but can be controlled to a predetermined value or less by a balance corrector or the like. FIGS. 2A and 2B show the measurement results after the balance correction of the centrifugal impeller 9 and the balance correction of the rotor 4.

However, when assembled into the electric blower 1, due to the fitting gap between the rotary shaft 15 and the inner diameter of the centrifugal impeller 9 and the difference in the vector sum of the unbalances when combined, (c). As shown in, the combined imbalance amount becomes larger than the above individually controlled values, and a large amount causes vibration noise and lower reliability. Therefore, it is necessary to correct the combination balance after the electric blower 1 is assembled. After the electric blower 1 is assembled as shown in FIG. 1, when the electric motor section 2 is energized, the centrifugal impeller 9 rotates together with the rotor 4. At this time, the above-mentioned combined imbalance is measured and corrected. A specific measuring method will be described below.

First, as shown in FIG. 3, an unbalanced position detecting groove 21 is provided on the end face of the rotary shaft 15, and the rotary shaft 15 is rotated by the reflected light from the optical sensor (for example, photodiode) 22. Position detection waveforms 23 and 24 as shown in FIG. 5 are obtained. When the rotating shaft 15 rotates and the unbalanced position detecting groove 21 passes through the reflected light portion of the photodiode 22, the output waveform of the photodiode 22 is detected at a high level as indicated by 23 in FIG. The output waveform after passing through the balance position detection groove 21 is 24
The low level detection is performed as shown in.

The sine waveform 25 in FIG. 5 detects the vibration of the rotor 4 transmitted to the housing 6 by the acceleration pickup sensor 28, which is attracted by the magnet 27 on the outer peripheral surface of the housing 6 in FIG. The waveform of the rotation primary component detected through FIG. Similarly, the sine waveform 26 is a waveform of the rotation primary component detected by the filter by detecting the vibration of the centrifugal impeller 9 transmitted to the casing 10 by the acceleration pickup sensor 29 adsorbed on the outer peripheral surface of the casing 10. The maximum amplitude points A and B are the unbalance correction positions of the rotor 4 and the centrifugal impeller 9, respectively.

As described above, the respective unbalance correction positions detected are the periods Ta and T from the position detection waveform 23.
b can be obtained and calculated to obtain the unbalance correction angle. From the obtained unbalance correction angle, the centrifugal impeller 9 is rotated with respect to the rotating shaft 15 so that the unbalance correction position of the centrifugal impeller 9 becomes substantially in phase with the unbalance correction position of the rotor 4. It is possible to reduce the deflection of the commutator 18. Further, instead of rotating the centrifugal impeller 9, the unbalanced position of the centrifugal impeller 9 is drilled,
The balance may be corrected by cutting with a cutter or a correction method such as a load application method.

Next, a description will be given of how the runout of the commutator 18 fixed to the rotor 4 can be reduced by making the unbalance correction positions of the rotor 4 and the centrifugal impeller 9 substantially in phase. As shown in FIG. 6, the displacement mode of the rotor 4 becomes the displacement mode 30 shown by the dotted line due to the unbalanced direction A remaining in the iron core 19. Therefore, when there is a residual imbalance in the B direction of the centrifugal impeller 9, a force acts in the A direction in the displacement mode of the rotor 4,
As the residual unbalance amount of the centrifugal impeller 9 increases,
The displacement mode of the rotor 4 also bends in the A direction. On the contrary, the displacement mode of the rotor 4 when there is a residual imbalance in the C direction of the centrifugal impeller 9 is a force that is suppressed and becomes straight like the displacement mode 31 shown by the solid line. The swing of the commutator 18 also becomes small.

FIG. 7 shows a case where the rotor 4 is rotating due to the phase difference between the unbalanced position remaining on the iron core 19 of the rotor 4 and the unbalanced position remaining on the centrifugal impeller 9. It shows how the amount of deflection of the commutator 18 changes. If the phase difference is within the target range of ± 10 °,
The amount of deflection of the commutator 18 is suppressed to 6 μm or less, ± 30 °
Within the allowable range of, the shake amount is within 10 μm.

FIG. 8 shows the imbalance position remaining on the iron core 19 of the rotor 4 and the imbalance position deviation of the centrifugal impeller 9. The unbalanced position deviation of the centrifugal impeller 9 with respect to the unbalanced position of the rotor 4 is a rotation angle of ± 10 °.
If it is within the target range, the vibration amount of the commutator 18 is at a level that does not pose any problem, and if it is within the allowable range of ± 30 ° in the rotation angle, the vibration amount of the commutator 18 can be suppressed, and The effect on the carbon brush 12 is small, and the life of the carbon brush 12 can be extended.

FIG. 9 shows the relationship between the residual unbalance amount of the centrifugal impeller 9 and the runout of the commutator 18 fixed to the rotor 4. The unbalanced position of the rotor 4 and the centrifugal impeller 9 are shown. When the unbalanced position of is in the opposite phase,
The deflection of the commutator 18 increases as the unbalance amount of the centrifugal impeller 9 increases. Further, when the unbalanced position of the rotor 4 and the unbalanced position of the centrifugal impeller 9 are substantially in phase, the shake of the commutator 18 is suppressed and reduced.

From the above, by setting the unbalanced position of the centrifugal impeller 9 in substantially the same phase as the unbalanced position of the rotor 4, the runout of the commutator 18 can be suppressed and the combined unbalance can be corrected. Further, in the present embodiment, the balance ring 17 is used to balance the rotor 4 itself, but since the imbalance is corrected by using the method of the present embodiment, the balance ring 17 becomes unnecessary. . As a result, the axial direction of the electric blower can be shortened, and the electric blower can be downsized.

[0024]

According to the present invention, the imbalance positions of the impeller and the rotor are substantially in phase, so that the combined balance can be easily corrected after the electric blower is assembled. Also, it is not necessary to strictly correct and manage the amount of impeller imbalance.

Further, the combination balance correction enables low vibration and low noise operation even at high speed rotation.
Particularly, since the balance accuracy of the commutator portion can be improved, the rotation accuracy of the commutator is stabilized, the life of the carbon brush is extended, and the reliability of the motor can be further improved.
